Headline of the day.

It might be about the dramatic U.S. victory over Japan with a two-out bases-loaded single by Alex Rodriguez who finally proved he can deliver a big hit (although he admitted afterward that he was merely trying to "survive" against a pitcher who the U.S. had not. scouted.) That pitcher almost changed Japanese baseball history by striking out Griffey Jr. with a full-count fastball and the bases loaded.

But today's headline is not about the US, Cuba, or Japan--nor the atrocious call that erased Japan's lead--rather it's the decisive Puerto Rico victory over the Dominican Republic. If the Mexico team can edge past Korea tonight, the PR team will be the only undefeated team left in the tourney. It's no surprise when you look at the quality of their line-up and their clutch team play led by Mr. Clutch, Pudge Rodriguez. The oddsmakers would do well to Keep an eye on the PR.
